ARNOLD 'ELIAM ni i Joan NAsn, both or the city or r, innipeg, in the homme or llflnnifsohn, invented certain enel nseinl 'improvements Vaporiz-- elrerfz, of Whieh he following' is to en ab nnl it, for reporizing oil 'lhe objeo isf'enion is to provide en inexpensive e ice which con he attached un i ine celmretr which n'ill .vhen in use effeel, en elniosl instantaneous reperimion 'the Enel fc-eo thereby allowing the very quickly.

is to provi-ile n device n to e Cnrhureer will ssible so siert an engine burning oils such as kerosene or Coul oil mporising the erut'le oil in the i r the erncler by quickly carhureer and thereby obtaining immediately en effective. explosix'fe charge i'or the eyli -den f'tlfr he obere objects in View rhe invennon consists essenully in a @up shaped. reeepleele, a. suitably insulated wire coil coneined in the receptacle and binding screws connected with the ends of `ehe wire, one oeing in electrical connection wi h the recepand vthe other insulated therefrom`r the nrs being arranged and Constructed :is iereinefter more particularly described und eter pointed out in elle appended einnis.

in the present ease ll is the oil sup ily pipe leerling to 'the carlnireter, the supply oli' oil ,repealing in section.

lt is to be. understood that the above ports forni no part o'li our invention being simplyv described so ihut. the. application ol' the uttoohinent can lie Clearly understood.

'W e might here reniurk that in the colder countries ilili'ieulty is experienced in starting an engine with :x urhureter of the type shown (without our attachment) even with gusolene owing to 'the clillioulty of obtaining s good tiring n'iixture in the mixing c'uur her. ln inslaxnoes where the cruder oils such us kerosene or coal oil are used it is impossible 3o stort lhe engine in eolcl temperatures und very dillieult in wurm eniperutures.

wVith our lattuchn'ient shortly deserihed applied and. in use the engine can he started :almost instantaneously, even under the usual utlverse conditions where one ot the Gruner oils is used :is u fuel.

Referring uguin to the (li-owing, l2 represents the attachment which is screw threzuled into the carburetor und connected in u -suitulile electric circuit. l* comprises the following parts.

13 is :i cup shaped receptacle having; the upper enti editer-ieri)v screw threaded und sorevv'etl into the bottoni ol' the oarhuroter so that it opens to the well thereof und when applied ills with the oil contained in the well. v

l-f is nn insulating; cup-shaped @using litecl within the receptacle und containing e. spirzilly wound healingcoil l5 of exposed niioroine wire havingl one end secured by u screw lo ro the upper end or the receptucle :ind melting' cleet'ieul oontue with the reeepl'uefo and the lower end fastened bye screw l-T-to the heutl of :r pin lo which posses through the bottoni of' the receptacle und suit-ably insulated therefrom hy un inner und outer pair of liber wushers 15? :intl 20 und ai liber collar 2l'.

22 is u. loch nut screw threaded on the end of 'the pin and holdinfrthe saine tightly in position while 2l-l is un udjusting nut loeared on the outer end of 'the pin. Two e the pin hei-weer the nuts.

Ilhe etriehnien is contained in n suitrhl', electric circuit so that the coil i5 can he heated. rl`his circuit comprises in the presenl: inst-snee e buttery 26 or other source .of

eleetrieel motive force, feed and return Wires ontuelr washers 24- :inrl are inserted on' up the nut 23.

27 and 28 and a switch 29, the feed Wire being connected through the switch with the engine at any convenient point While the return Wire is connected with the attachment by passing the end thereof between the Washers 24: and 25 and screWin 30 is'an inverted saucer shaped hood contained in the Well and located to overhang theattachment, the object of this hood being to collect the oil vaporized by the attachment and pass it directly to the orifice and subsequently to the mixing ,chamer. applied'the oil from the Well will fill the cup and that the oil filling the cup vwill be quickly vaporized once the circuit containing the coil is closed as the coil is directly in contact With the liquid. The oil so vaporized passes up in bubbles through the oil Well and is trapped by the hood and fed directly to the mixing chamber through the orifice. As the capacity of the receptacle is comparatively small and the heating coil is comparatively large it only takes a few seconds to vaporize the oil in the receptacle and consequently it is possible with this device to start the engine almost instantaneously even Where an oil such as kerosene or coal oil is used.

We do n'bt Wish to be restricted to the application of our invention to a carbureter as it Will be readily understood the attachnient could be applied on any engine feed pipe -for vaporizing purposes provided of course it is attached ata suitable point so that the voil vaporized by it can be immediately mixed with the air supply and passed to the cylinder.
